Should Christians support young marriages?

The term young, could mean any number of things.

God himself developed the human body.  He gave the human body a time to mature at different stages.

Each body matures differently, both male and female bodies.

Spiritually, some people have depraved themselves of truths because they misinterpret "attractions" vs. "lust"

People assume sexuality as a means to greater achievement in humanity and some even become depraved in their nature.

So a young man, who owns his own land (thanks to parental guidance and wisdom), would like to marry.  He is only 17, but he knows how to handle financial things.  Should he marry at that age?

What about a young woman.  She knows how to bake, clean, handle financial basics and other things.  She is only 16 but she has already passed through several college classes with flying colors.  Should she marry at that age?

I say this.  A young person should PREPARE their heart for marriage first.  If they are not MATURE in their heart (they want more than life truly offers), then they are not ready for marriage.  A 27 year old who gets married will fail at marriage just as easily or more readily than a 17 year old, simply because they are not mature in their heart.

Maturity is NOT dependent on age per-say.  It is dependent upon REPENTANCE and willingness to SERVE OTHERS more than self.

So I say, the -State- itself doesn't determine whether a person is mature enough by the condition of a person's heart, the -state- can only determine by age.  And even then, the state assumes that all marriages that are ruled by THEIR rules, rather than God's rules are ok (including infidelity marriages, extreme pedophilia cases, alcohol induced marriages, lawless same-sex marriages and so forth).  There was even a time where race was a major issue in marriages, even though many people are currently of mixed nationality and they don't know it.


Essentially, when a young man or young woman knows that God is leading them to marriage, the person can get married by a faith based group (instead of going to prom or constantly -lusting/touching- for many years) at the age of full maturity.  Then they may "avoid" getting a marriage license (the state only looks at who lives in household anyhow) or they may go through a "marriage license" thing (that is paying extra money) when they would like to consider things official by the state (considering that the state approves of depraved marriages, makes me believe that the state is useless entity at licensing).  Many people have "avoided" the marriage license process and still live happy content lives.  Including those in polygyny marriages and so forth (I am not going to discuss the biblical reason behind these types of marriages, but some polygyny marriages are happier than monogomous marriages with wisdom and preparations).

What types of things would help prepare for marriage:

Boys book of Homeskills

Girls Guide to Homeskills

Before you say your vows

Created with a Purpose (sometimes life is not all about marriage liscense)

A simple marriage certificate is all that is truly needed (even if not recognized by the state).

There are many other resources and books to help with these things.  Some are popular Christian Book resources and some are not well known.  All in all the HEART should WANT to worship JESUS!  There are even things in GOD's LAWS (torah) that point to JESUS as the bridegroom!......look at those things too!
